NTV anchor and reporter Anita Nkonge has announced her exit from Nation Media Group after three years.
In a series of posts on her Twitter account, Nkonge said that words and photos could not sum up her journey at the media house.
"Working for NTV has honestly been one of my many dreams come true. I came in as a young intern and though leaving a few years later I have grown in leaps and bounds as a journalist.
"I am grateful for the lessons, the impactful stories I managed to do and the people I met in the midsts of it all. To my colleagues and editors, thank you for what has been an amazing and momentous chapter in my life. Really excited for the new chapter and new beginning," she said.
Though her main role was to be reporter, she often found herself presenting news bulletins and interviwing high profile guests such as Health CS Mutahi Kagwe.
Nkonge has also worked for Royal Media Services and has a journalism degree from the University of Kent in UK.
She did news features on education, health and lifestyle and also did a documentary on the emergence of the grime music in the UK.
